preparation

How do you prepare the meat? Thomas Rexfort: "To carve a roast into a palette, you cut the top part of the meat about 1.5 cm thick along the long side almost to the other side (but not all the way through!) and fold the cut third open like a book cover. Then you make another 1.5 cm thick cut in the remaining thick piece of meat, cut the roast almost to the starting side (but not all the way through!), and fold the cut piece open as well. This way, the roast lies on the countertop as a large, flat piece of meat (a palette) and is ready for topping. The pork fat net acts as a natural protective layer and prevents the roast from drying out during grilling. The moisture stays in the meat and is also released from the net. Just ask your butcher about it – or check out online butchers who ship pork nets."

Prepare the grill for indirect grilling and set it to 150°C. Slice the pork loin into strips and season with salt and pepper. Finely chop 1 bunch of parsley and spread it over the meat, then arrange the bacon evenly on top.

Dice half of the mushrooms and pearl onions, mix with half of the crème fraîche, and place on top of the bacon. Roll the roast tightly and wrap it in the pork netting. Place a few parsley sprigs in the center of the roast and secure everything with three strands of sausage twine. Grill for 70–80 minutes at 150°C, until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 62°C.

Wash the cherry tomatoes and season them with brown sugar, salt, and pepper while still wet. Place them in an ovenproof dish and place them in the indirect grill zone of the grill, just like the roast. Grill until the tomatoes burst.

Quarter the remaining mushrooms and finely chop the onions. Add them to a hot pan with a little oil, season with salt and pepper, and brown them on all sides. Chop the remaining parsley and stir into the mushrooms.

To serve, arrange the mushrooms in the center of the plates and place two roast slices on top. Arrange the tomatoes on top and serve with the remaining crème fraîche as a dip for the mushrooms.
